Mariah Carey and hubby Nick Cannon have been very protective of their new bundles of joy where the media is concerned as they should be. The paps are just waiting for a chance to snap the first pics of the twins and then sell to the highest bidders. It's very intrusive.

Well Mariah tweeted a sort of first "pic" of baby Monroe with the caption:

Penn, who reportedly ended his brief relationship with Johansson late last month, arrived first and sat at the bar until the Haitian-American beauty joined him soon after.

A source said they "moved to the front corner table" upon Beauvais' arrival, "which put them on display."

"They sat inside for a while and even ordered food," the source continued, adding that they later moved outside.

It's possible that, as with Johansson, 50-year-old Penn bonded with the 44-year-old Beauvais over a mutual interest in Haiti.

Beauvais, who was born in Haiti, lost an aunt in the earthquake that struck the country last year. She also made a short film, "Eyes to See," about the relief efforts.

Penn, too, has been very active in helping the country since the disaster. He founded the J/P Haitian Relief Organization and has spent time running camps for those displaced by the tragedy.

E! reported Beauvais was in attendance when Penn was honored at a Help Haiti: Urban Zen HHRH & The Stiller Foundation event earlier this year.

When Penn and Johansson, 26, started dating in February, the actress' rep confirmed they had "been talking over the last few months regarding Haiti Relief and Scarlett's upcoming trip to Haiti as Oxfam's global ambassador."

Prior to Johansson and following his divorce from Robin Wright, with whom he has two teenage children, Penn was linked to model Jessica White. Beauvais split from CAA agent Mike Nilon last year after nine years of marriage due to his alleged infidelity. They have twin 3-year-olds.

The release date for the sequel to "Quarantine" is varying depending on the source. It is rumored to be releasing today in a VERY LIMITED amount of theaters. Only a few cities. A fall DVD/BlueRay release date has not been set as of yet.

Oprah Winfrey is admitting that launching her own cable channel has not gone as smoothly as she expected.

"The vacation that I thought that I was going to have is over," Winfrey said Thursday at the National Cable & Telecommunications Association convention in Chicago. "I need to be there. I need to be engaged and involved."

Since its debut in January, Oprah's "OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network" has seen its ratings sag, losing a significant amount of viewers as time went on.

Oprah admitted Thursday that she was distracted by the final season of "The Oprah Winfrey Show", and didn't have "one space of energy left" to focus on her network.

"If I were to do it over again, I'd probably do it differently," she conceded about OWN's launch.

However, she reassured everyone that things were definitely going to change.

"I have committed everything I have to this cable venture," Winfrey stressed. "I wouldn't bet against me."

In January, she plans to launch a two- or three-day-a-week show, "Oprah's Next Chapter," which will consist of her interviewing a variety of people.

One person she would love to interview? None other than O.J. Simpson.

"I have a dream of O.J. Simpson confessing to me," Winfrey said, clarifying that she would only agree to interview him if he was willing to confess that he killed his former wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman in 1994.

"I want the interview on the condition that you are ready, Mr. Simpson," Oprah said. "And I am going to make that happen, people."

Oprah back on the telly in any capacity is always ratings gold! She also needs to interview Chris Brown. She did not treat him fairly. I admire Oprah, but she was wrong the way she handled that situation.

After ending her troubled marriage, "Basketball Wives" star Jennifer Williams has found a new love. Not only is she dating again, Jennifer has grabbed herself a sexy ass white man!

Jennifer is getting her swirl on!

Via S2S:

The reality TV star has been spotted out getting cozy with a fitness model named Lucas James. The two have been taking their relationship digital with lovey-dovey messages over Twitter for at least a week.

"Thinking about someone that gives me bottomless smiles!" Jen tweeted June 7. The pair became an official couple over Memorial Day weekend. However, they've been spotted getting cozy in New York, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and of course, Miami.

The two have been so inseperable that people are starting to refer to them as #kenandbarbie on Twitter.

Lucas brings more to the relationship than just looks, though. He's a personal trainer with a "luxurious healthy lifestyle company," who pushes his high-end clientele to make weight-loss a lifestyle as opposed to just a gym routine. Lucas also once worked as the host of "Arizona Entertainment Weekly."

Jen's new boo has a history of dating reality TV stars. In 2008, he won "Date My Ex: Jo & Slade", which starred Jo De La Rosa of Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Orange County."

Still, Jen and Lucas seem to be very into each other and we wish them the very best of luck. Hopefully this works out better than her marriage to ex-husband Eric Williams.
